4. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a frying pan and add the chopped shallot and garlic.

5. Stir in the finely chopped button mushrooms, pour over the brandy and beef stock, and reduce gently by three quarters.

6. Stir in the Dijon mustard, chopped parsley and double cream.

7. For the truffle dressing, whisk the egg yolk and slowly pour over truffle oil.

8. Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

9. Griddle the steak, adjusting the cooking time according to taste.

10. Divide the watercress between 2 dinner plates and drizzle with truffle dressing. Top with the cooked steak, surrounded by the sauce and Pont Neuf potatoes.
